GRIEFs OF THE WEALTHY.
Random Notes Showing That Riches
Do Not Always Make Happiness.

The life of fashion and wealth is
wearisome and dreary enough and
full of discomfort if you will look un-
der its glittering surface, remarks the
Philadelphia correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune.
Did you ever think how pathetic
are the sorrows of the rich /?
IL seems natural that tie poor
should suffer, but when you think
how much mankind stands ready TO
pay for wealth, there is something
p,tiable in the realization that, after
oil, riches do not always make happi-
ness. realized the truth of this bit
of philosophy very keenly the other
day as I contemplated the everyday
existence of the two wealthiest women
in the United States. One was Mrs.
John and Jacob Astor, of New York,
the other was Mrs. Gammell,o of Prov
idence, II. /. Perhaps you have seen
Mrs. Astor. She is q handsome
woman rather, with great sweetness
and charm of manner. She was Miss
Gibbs, of North Carolina, and has just
a shade of Southern accent, with all
the soft gracefnlness of style which is
characteristic of the beautiful women
of the South. Both she aud Mrs.
Gammell were staying at hotel at
Atlantic City, on the seasLore, about
an hour and half out of town, where
almost all fashion has gone this
spring to build up, after the diversions
and designations of the winter. Her
gowns were extremely simple, and
she wore no jewelry at all. Her hus-
band, as you know, is worth hun
dred and fifty millions of dollars, and
of course is the richest individual in
the country. He is o stocky little
man, stout, selfwilled, brusque, and

Washington Despatch TO North Americana
The young men of Alexandria are deter
mined that the young ladies whose society
they have monopolized during the year
shall not be neglected during the holiday
season. A number of them met during the
week and decided on a schedule of Christmas
rates, which the young men must honor or
be subjected to social ostracism forever
Any young man who has been in the habit
of calling on three or more young ladies dur
ing the year and has occasionally invited
them to the theatre, taken them to drive or
sufficiently gratified the young ladies craving
for oysters and caramels will be let off for
So worth of presents. He who has divided
his time between two young ladies only must
expend $3.50 at least, and display no partial
ity in awarding his favors. The young man
who has selfishly devoted all his time to one
young lady has helped to wear out the
drawing-room carpet. and cause the young
lady's father to start in horror at the coal
and gas bills, will be mulcted in $25, and if
he fails to respond to that demand he will
be boycotted by all the young ladies in the
city.
A penalty of $40 is put on prospective
bachelorhood, and any young man who is
known not to have called on any young lady
during the year must pay that amount into
the association treasury, and hold himself In
readiness to aid the others in fulfilling their
obligations should their cash run short All
visited or any young man who by sweet
meats, flattery or other method has endavor
ed to gain the admiration of his sweetheart's
mamma.
The association will meet January 2, when
the penalties will be adjudged.

But we care nothing about the inference.
For the purposes of this discussion we are
willing to admit that it is unjustiied, and
then we can maintain our original assertion
that Judge Whitehouse annulled the law on
Mr.. Drummond's construction of it as well
as upon Mr.. Heaths. In last Saturdays
Advertiser Mr.. Drummond said:
As the law formerly was, the judge could say to
the jury that this evidence would not authorize a
conviction, whereas now he must say TO the jury
that it will authorize conviction.
Now, if it cannot fairly be asserted that
Judge Whitehouse instructed the jury
that liquor tax standing alone and unex-
planned was insufficient to convict, it certain
ly cannot be claimed that he instructed them
that standing alone and unexplained the
liquor tax was sufficient. But, according to
Mr.. Drummond's construction of the law,
the latter instruction Judge Whitehouse must
give. He did not give it, therefore he an
nulled the law even on Mr.. Drummonds
construction of it. Now, If he annulled Mr..
Heath's construction, us is generally admit
ted, and Mr. Drummond's construction too,
he annulled every construction that has been
put upon it, except Gen. BOWS. that it was
meant to do no harm and to stir up the coun-
ty attorneys.

1t needs to be borne in mind that the main
object Of revising the tariff or reducing the
internal revenue taxes at the present time is
to reduce the income of the government and
thus keep in business channels money that
will otherwise be locked up in the treasury
with no chance to get out In other words
tariff revision and reduction of internal reye-
nue. taxation are only means to an end which
end is the reduction of the surplus. Both
parties agree that the surplus must be re-
duced: the question that divides them is one
of means. The Republicans are in favor of
the plan that will accomplish the end sought
with the least disturbance to the business of
the country. The end to be accomplished is
steadily kept in view by them. But the
Democrats, or the free trade wing of the
Democrats, appear to be forgetting the end
and are divising schemes rather with view
to their effect upon the present tariff than
their effect upon the surplus. 1t is far from
certain that Mr.. Carlisle's measure would
cut down the surplus. But it would reduce
the protection now extended to our manu-
facturers and wool growers, and that is
enough to commend it to him and his allies
Its effect upon the surplus is a secondary
consideration.

The proclamation of the Virginia Senate
to the country that the State does not intend
to pay its debts, aud that the bondholders
had better take what they can get and shut
up is one of the most disgraceful pronuncia-
mentos that has everyone forth from com
monwealth. There is not the excuse of pow
erty, for Virginia is rich and her debt is not
heavy. 1t is case of rank dishonesty on
part of whole commonwealth.
